Title:
  Duplicated ARP responses from ovnmetadata namespaces

Status in networking-ovn:
  Confirmed
Status in ovn package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When OpenStack instances are connected to an external network, an ovn-etadata-namespace is created in each compute that has VMs attached to that
  network. Because the ovn-metadata namespace has interfaces with the same mac address in all computers, external switches might ARP query for the IP
   and receive multiple responses in different ports triggering network error alerts.
